Digital BW, The Print

Joost,
I doubt that either the HP or the 12 channel Canon is a good choice for what your after. We don't have a RIP that is up to speed for these guys presently.. I know that studio print will run the Canon but I've never tried using just some of the channels. The HP is reputably the best for B&W printing with HP's ink set.. Maybe a few otehrs have soem thoughts on this.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Z3100 - RIP & ink-refill?


    
  Still chasing the dream of a large format printer, I'm taking a bit a closer look to the HP Z3100. Its 12 cartridges opens the possibility to accomodate for a host of dedicated B&W ink setups at once without changing any cartridge.

  But that would require at least two things:
  - a RIP: QTR does not support HP. There are many other RIPs but is there one with a similar B&W curve blending facility as QTR?
  - ability to accept 3rd party inks: I recall to have read somewhere that HP uses much smaller pigment particles. Could one load e.g. MIS inks in an HP?

  Thanks for any insigths,

  Joost
